I found this story kind of funny. Papa John's pizza offended Lebron by making t-shirts with "crybaby" on them and when they realized that it was offensive decided to sell customers a large pizza for 23 cents (Lebrons #) to make up for it. They will be donating all this money to the Cavs Youth fund. Sounds like a good deal for Cleveland fans lol

a great deal if the pizza didnt taste like ass and armpit with a touch of oregano.

James Posey is expected to announce that he'll re-sign with the Boston Celtics in the next 24 hours

First line of around the league... let's just say my dick isn't soft right now, and I'm sure The Kilo is extremely excited as well.

Seemed like a good time to get this thread going again, with Brand coming to the Atlantic Division which is shaping up to be AWESOME with Elton Brand and the 76ers and Jermaine O'Neal and the Raptors.

Some HUGE moves so far...

Brand to Sixers
Davis to Clippers
O'Neal to Toronto
Pietrus to Orlando (big move for them, real under the radar player)

TheKilo · 07-10-2008, 08:28 PM

Yeah, if that's true, you gotta love that move. Any idea on the length? If it's three years, I love the move. If it's four or five I can deal with it because the expiring contract can be a valuable trading chip.

YanksHater213 · 07-10-2008, 08:42 PM

I haven't heard much, but I think 3 years is excellent, 4 is absoultely doable, and 5 I think is overkill.

YanksHater213 · 07-16-2008, 08:04 AM

WOW.

The Nuggets GIVE Camby to the Clippers for the right to exchange second round picks in 2010. They don't even acquire any assets.

Horrific trade for Denver, they lose their only defensive piece, and will probably allow 115 PPG next year.

I don't blame them, the only teams with cap space were the Grizzlies (who wouldn't spend their money on Camby), and the Clippers, so the Clippers were pretty much able to set the price.

But wow, even if I needed to get rid of salary, I wouldn't have dealt Camby, he's got 2 years left on a decent size contract, that's gonna be a nice trading chip next year for a team looking to bolster their interior defense in the middle of next year.

Mr Crunchy · 07-16-2008, 01:48 PM

denver fucked up a promising future and now they lose what bit of muscle and defense they had with the long man going to losangeles.

Yeah... I guess it's something they kind of needed to do, take a step towards fixing their financial situation and all, but management still has dreams of contending for a Title, even though this team will be worse off than that disappointing team from last year. Had they known they would eventually make this move, they should've been smart enough to just start getting themselves in a position to rebuild.

Should've looked to trade Iverson or Melo -- eventually you just have to admit that the direction in which you're going is never going to work.

edit: I guess the idea is to play Nene at the 5, Melo at the 4 spot, Kleiza at small forward, and JR Smith and AI as the guards.

Not happy about it, but also, I was hoping Danny wouldn't budge and give him the 4th year.

Matt Barnes and Quinton Ross are who we should be looking at now I think.
